I kicked off the velvet stout last Monday 25/8.
Added half a kilo of dry dark malt extract and a kilo of dextrose.
Made up to 19 litres, OG about 1050.
Fermenting Temp was around 23c.
By this Monday 1/9 it had dropped to 1011, so bottled and primed with total of 90g black treacle.
Kit says to leave bottles in warm for just 2 days but I'm not planning on moving it until Saturday morning and it's at 22c, hope no bombs! using strong flip top bottles.
I'll post when its drinkable, from sip at bottling it seems promising.:drink:
